Challenge #95: Cold
Title: A Glass Notebook
Author: fun_demented
Notes: Angst; Justin's POV; No beta
Condom: 1 to Carl
I light a cigarette for the 25th time this day—once for every year, I muse sardonically, though it is neither funny nor accurate; I am still merely 22, not the lifetime older that I feel, since leaving Pittsburgh.
Exhaling a long drag, I squat near the ice-covered window and sip coffee (from a ceramic mug made by the girl I am staying with—Daphne’s friend).
I touch my finger to the pane. Its veil of frost melts beneath my fingertip. Suddenly, I am 17, writing Brian, Brian, Brian…trying to write each word faster than the last one disappears.
